5G layout smart street light business opportunities

5G, as the aorta of social information flow, the accelerator for industrial transformation and upgrading, and the new cornerstone of building a digital society, is leading a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. On October 31, China Mobile officially launched 5G commercialization in the first batch of 50 cities nationwide, and introduced a series of measures such as 5G commercial tariffs and services.

The advent of the 5G era makes the role of smart light poles even more prominent. 5G base stations have the need to use high-frequency communication and large capacity and high speed, so that in the 5G era, a large number of tiny base stations are required to complete more dense network coverage. As a city's infrastructure, light poles meet the requirements of the 5G era. As a result, 5G micro base stations have become one of the most striking features of smart light poles.

At present, 5G construction is proceeding at an extraordinary speed. As of the end of September, China Unicom has deployed 25,000 5G base stations in more than 40 large and medium-sized cities, and is expected to build 40,000 this year; China Telecom The number of 5G base stations is basically the same as that of China Unicom. Up to now, China Mobile has carried out 5G network construction in more than 300 cities across the country, and has built more than 40,000 5G base stations in more than 50 key cities.

Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering He predicts that the number of base stations required for 5G networking will be 4 to 5 times that of 4G. It can be seen that the number of 5G base stations built at this stage is really poor, and it is far from filling the gap in demand.

Because of limited urban space, 5G construction should make full use of various municipal infrastructure such as street lights, utility poles, traffic lights, and billboards to accelerate 5G deployment, effectively use resources, and reduce repeated investment.

This year, the State issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Co-construction and Sharing of Telecommunications Infrastructure in 2019", which proposes that basic telecommunications enterprises and tower companies be encouraged to intensive use of existing base station sites, street light poles, monitoring poles and other public facilities to reserve 5G sites in advance Resources.

In addition, local governments have also issued related policy plans to support the investment in the construction of smart light poles to achieve "multi-pole integration." The demand for 5G micro base stations is also gradually clear, and the smart light pole suddenly caught up with the air outlet. The active support of the policy has also laid a solid foundation for the combination of 5G base stations and smart street lights.
